"My Favorite Orkan" (Happy Days)
Aired: Feb 28, 1978
Season 5, Episode 22
Written by: Joe Glauberg
Directed by: Jerry Paris
Happy Days creator Garry Marshall - in order to appease his son - devises a dream episode in which Richie (Ron Howard) and Fonzie (Henry Winkler) meet an alien from outer space.
After a long audition process... they finally settle on their Orkan... a relative unknown named Robin Williams.
This video is an oral history of the development of that episode compiled from numerous audio sources from the actors and crew themselves.

I had the pleasure of going to a rehearsal for a season 2 episode of "Mork & Mindy"; it was called "Clerical Error" in which Mork decides to become a priest. There was one point where Robin Williams did this amazing riff about circumcising elephants, and I laughed so hard it's a wonder I didn't lose my voice. The man was a genius in the truest sense... and greatly missed.

I remember I did a RU-vid post on my channel about Robin Williams and depression. Robin committing suicide was absolutely shocking. Suicides are common in Hollywood, but I never thought the most “happiest Zane guy what’s succumb to depression. Smokey Robinson was right “ ain’t nothing sadder than the tears of a clown when there’s no one around.

@TheSubwaysurfer Месяц назад

One of the most fascinating things about Robin was his versatility. I think the guy was a musician as well because he went to Juilliard his comedic talents were unquestionable, but he was also a phenomenal actor able to play parts with such sensitivity, insight whimsy, of course, and poignancy. He was brilliant his versatility and acting. He plays a homeless man a corrupt busker manager in August rush a college professor in Goodwill hunting what an amazing amazing career it should not have ended the way that it did but the time he was here, he was a cometand I got a chance to see him burn.

@sammywise2001 Месяц назад

@@TheSubwaysurfer When you start getting undeniable proof and experiencing a degenerative brain disease.... I don't think it's the depression that causes someone to exit this life. I think it's acceptance and a feeling of finality that you don't want to live that way. If someone else wants to live that way? GREAT! FINE! FANTASTIC! But my opinion of Robin William's exit from our plane of existence, is one that makes me cry and smile at the same time. He didn't want to go on that way. So he made a choice you can't go back on. Now that is power over oneself!!!! He was so special and amazing! Absolutely nothing he did made me say I didn't like him. Shoot, he was even upset about the success of Aladdin because of his voice acting for the Genie. That's because the Genie BECAME "Robin Williams" instead of "The Genie". He then was sad that so many voice actors would be replaced by already famous actors in order to sell tickets. I hate how characters in cartoons are now based on their voice actor over being their own unique character :(

So, shortly after Mork & Mindy was cancelled we were in San Francisco for a night out. We used to hit all the clubs in the Bay Area but had never been to the Holy City Zoo. After dinner we went to the HCZ. It was an open mic night, with a two drink minimum, beers were $1.50! LOL After a couple of acts in walks this guy, dressed in a big parka coat, wearing a ball cap, sun glasses (the club is already dark) and bright orange tennis shoes, and he’s escorted in the area behind the stage. A short time later he comes on stage and it’s Robin Williams. The Zoo is small venue and we’re literally five feet from Robin who immediately launches into an awesome one hour set. He talks about the cancellation of the show and tries out what describes as “new” material. What an amazing night, great memories

I lived in Boulder when Mork & Mindy was a thing. Believe it or not, even though the show wasn't filmed in Boulder, I was witness to Robin Williams being in Boulder quite a bit. I was a busker and performed most days in front of The New York Deli, a real deli that was on Pearl Street for many years, and was the deli that, in the show, Mork's two New Yorker friends owned.. One day Robin was walking down the street and watched me perform. I mostly sang John Denver songs at that time. Robin gave me a hundred dollar bill and said "You are why I love Colorado." and, before I could get my wits to actually say anything, he was gone. I love Robin and just about everything he did while performing. I, like Robin, went through a period of addiction and I am now a Social Worker working with addiction. I can actually say that he had a HUGE impact on my life and I will always remember him for being on Happy Days when he was.

There's a great book I just finished called: "I'm Dying Up Here" all about the early days of the Comedy Store in Los Angeles. The Richard Lewis / Robin WIlliams audition is talked about in it. I did not know David Letterman grew up at the Comedy Store, always thought he started in local TV and kept going in TV... but he actually did the stand up thing for a bit until he could become a writer for TV. It's a really great book... highly suggested.

@EatSleepEmpire Месяц назад

Robin called it luck, but he had been working on his craft day in day out and took every opportunity to add and create. And after he got the opportunity he kept giving it more and more into a series. Spin offs don’t usually work. Many other actors had the chance to play that role and turned it down. He won the lottery for being such a talent.

@Lance37a Месяц назад

He made his own luck.

@Dadofer1970 Месяц назад

For the vast majority of famous actors their fame is due to luck. Maybe it was the whim of a casting director who chose them for a career making role, but over 50 other options. Maybe it was the luck of being born to a family in the business, or some other lucky turn. However, I am convinced that Robin Williams was destined to be a star. If not for Happy Days it would have happened some other way. He was both one of the funniest comedians and also one of the greatest actors ever.

Dead Poets Society is my favorite film of his.

@Redmenace96 2 месяца назад

It was a contest to see who could imitate him best on the playground. We little kids were such fans, one of my classmates had a tape recorder. He would hold it up to the speaker of His family TV, and then bring the tape to school for us to re-live and laugh at it. I think the teacher allowed it, too. We were nutz for Happy Days and then Mork n Mindy!

@@JoseyWales44s Sure it was mentioned but isn't the abnormal part of how it happened. Star Wars was huge with everyone in the TV/Movie industry chasing it but it made no sense to put that into a 1950's set TV show with no sci-fi aspects, which is why no adult did it. The out of the norm thing is that an adult took a nonsense recommendation from an 8 year old seriously enough to make them write an weird ass episode that somehow worked.

The serendipitous trail of breadcrumbs is amazing! From Garry Marshall's kid not watching Happy Days because he wanted sci-fi, to the space man episode, to no one wanting it, to finding Robin Williams who was only a street performer, to an illustrious career. I remember Happy Days being popular, I rarely watched it. I did watch Mork and Mindy a lot though. I did lose interest in it after maybe 2 seasons, though did watch some of the Jonathan Winters episodes.

A treat to see Robin Williams' beginnings. I didn't realize (or forgot) that Mork made his first appearance on Happy Days. Still miss Robin.

Great episode, watching it as a child in grade school was awesome.

Met Robin Williams when he did a show at my venue about 5 months before he died. Extremely humble and quiet, like it says in this video. As soon as he went on stage he exploded. It was amazing to watch

February 28, 1978, a star was born and the TV world was turned upside down. Everyone need to remember this was the same season where The Fonz or according to everyone the show jump the shark. The rest is history. We miss you Robin.

What a fantastically done oral history of the episode and the birth of Mork. Excellent job. One of the finest I have seen on a youtube channel. The episode you did on A My Name is Alex is what made me subscribe. Thanks so much!

I don't have a personal anecdote, I just think Robin Williams was a comedic genius.

1:44 wow. What an awesome dad. He not only asked his kid something, but also listened to what he said and cared enough about including the kids in his work to act on the idea, thereby giving validation to the child, their ideas, and the entire interaction.
